The disgusting-sounding concoction is already been sold in GAME's Basingstoke store for £1.99, and the company is considering a national rollout if there is enough gamer demand.

“According to new research almost half (43 per cent) of the nation’s gamers plan to spend the majority of Christmas day playing on their new consoles and games," said GAME in a statement.

“That’s why retailer GAME has developed the Christmas Tinner, enabling gamers to get their teeth into GAME play all day without having to miss out on a mouthful of their favourite food or do the washing-up.”

Christmas Tinner creator Chris Godfrey, a design student, added: “I tried to ensure when creating the menu that all the flavours complemented one another and it was designed so that gamers can eat one layer at a time, starting with breakfast and finishing off with Christmas Pudding – the perfect Christmas Day meal without any of the fuss.”

Recent research by Domino’s Pizza found that gamers will do almost anything to carry on playing. Almost half of male gamers admitted they have turned down sex to continue playing, while a fifth of female gamers said they had missed weddings and hen dos.
